Processing time for Bahrain
The complete legalization chain for Bahrain typically takes around 7-12 working days from the moment we receive your originals until they are ready for return delivery. The timeline is mainly determined by Embassy of Bahrain's own processing queue, which we cannot speed up directly.
What we can do is run every step in parallel where possible — notarized documents go to UD immediately, and as soon as UD is finished we submit them to Embassy of Bahrain the same day. You receive automatic status updates by email every time your case moves forward.
Need it faster? Contact us before ordering — for urgent Bahrain cases we can sometimes offer express handling at Embassy of Bahrain for an additional fee.
Cost for Bahrain
Legalization for Bahrain starts at 1500 SEK for a single private document. The price covers the entire chain — notarization at Notarius Publicus, verification by the Swedish Ministry for Foreign Affairs and final legalization at Embassy of Bahrain.
Multi-document orders qualify for our bundle pricing and typically come out cheaper per document. Company documents from Bolagsverket and Skatteverket don't need notarization and follow a separate price list.
All prices include VAT and outlays paid on your behalf to authorities. There are no hidden fees — you see the final amount before payment.

Bahrain is not a member of the Hague Apostille Convention. Documents intended for Bahrain must therefore go through the full legalization chain — first notarization (for private documents), then verification by the Swedish Ministry for Foreign Affairs, and finally legalization at Embassy of Bahrain in London.
Each step is mandatory. A document missing the embassy stamp will be rejected by authorities and employers in Bahrain, even if it has been notarized and verified by UD. The embassy is the only authority that can confirm the document's validity for use in Bahrain.
Many Bahrain-bound documents also require certified translation — either before or after the embassy step depending on the receiving authority. We coordinate translation and legalization in a single order so the steps happen in the correct sequence.
